The answer depends on who you ask, and my gut is us mortals are never going to know the real answer.  That's the beauty of NSA/FBI (or GCHQ).

I've read at least one story where the developers said it was 'done' and no additional releases are needed; from there the evidence is contradictory.  AES256 itself is still the 'gold' standard for encryption, but knowing what I know I can't help but wonder for whom exactly is it gold? 

Various governments have been involved in several encryption methodologies, and we find out later they intentionally included weaknesses.  I believe Australia (maybe New Zealand?) has passed a law making it illegal to not unencrypt data on demand for government review.

You can't leave us "hanging" like this

😂 well I was going to go with “dinglebat” but I found a whole timeline, so feel free to pick your favourite... so to speak. 

I could spend WAAAAY too much time on this site! Great find! I think my favorite name so far is “staff of life” �£�£�£

There's a female equivalent timeline too, apparently! Big smile
